Aryans in the Rig Veda

Rig Vedas is a book written by the descendants of aryans, who lived some where in central asia. Rig Veda is almost like a book of collection of memories of original aryans, being written by their descendants some where in northern south asia (modern Pakistan)

actually in history same thing happened with Mughals and other central asians when they came to India. They missed their original homeland (Central asia) so much that they wrote poetry about places like Kabul, Tashkent, Bukhara in central asia, filled with beautiful memories of those places passed on to them by their ancestors.

All these central asians rulers who came and ruled south asia and India and became rich of it, they actually never loved India, nor they ever called it their own country, they always missed their original homelands in central asia. India and hindus were very different for them, culturally

So the Vedic Indians called themselves "Aryans," to mean but did they ever use the term in the national sense?  In other words they used the term Aryan to designate a person or people that "followed the right path" as you say, but did they have tribes that were called the "Aryans"? 


The word [Arya] is used in the sense of ?We, the Noble?.  When an Iranian, for example, used the word Airya, he undoubtedly meant an Iranian, or even perhaps an Iranian belonging to his own particular tribe or community.

He seems to imply that the term Arya is used only in a spiritual sense, but then he seems to contradict himself when he says:

In the tribal sense, the word is used only in reference to the PUrus:
a. In I.59.2, Agni is said to have been produced by the Gods to be a light unto the Arya. In the sixth verse, it is clear
that the hymn is composed on behalf of the PUrus.
b. In VII.5.6, again, Agni is said to have driven away the Dasyus and brought forth broad light for the Arya. In the
third verse, the deed is said to have been done for the PUrus.
An examination of the family identity of the RSis who use the word Arya clinches the identification of the PUrus (and
particularly the Bharatas) as the Aryas of the Rigveda: of the 34 hymns in which the word is used, 28 hymns are
composed by the Bharatas, ANgirases and VasiSThas.

So how does he know that Arya in I.59.2 and VII.5.6 is used in a national sense and not a spiritual sense?  If the Purus was the name of the tribe then how could the name of the tribe be Aryan?  Wouldn't Arya in VII.5.6 also mean "one who follows the right path?"  How do we know it doesn't?
